Fun Facts About Spawn

Spawn creator Todd McFarlane started the concept for Spawn when he was just 16-years old. He took that character as his main focus when he left Marvel Comics starting up Image Comics.

Spawn has a multitude of special powers that include but are not limited to super strength, agility, teleporting, blasts necroplasm from his fingertips, full regeneration of limbs and organs, stopping time, breathing fire, reanimating the dead, and the list continues.

Spawn as Al Simmons is played by an African American and Todd McFarlane stated that was his strong desire to make his character so.

Creator Todd McFarlane of Spawn and Publisher Image Comics was one of the last publishers move their character to the digital world because they wanted to keep that brick and mortar feel of comic book shops. Spawn #250 marked the first Spawn digital release.

Spawn featured crossovers with Batman and WitchBlade, but the trilogy crossover with Batman never happened. McFarlane took most of the blame for that missed opportunity.

Spawn introduced fans to Angela who is a female Angelic warrior, but the creator of Angela wanted more royalties and that created legal issues. The feud was resolved, and the creator revealed Angela to Marvel fans as the sister of Thor.

Todd McFarlane will be writing and directing the new Spawn movie scheduled for production in 2018. McFarlane stated that the new film will NOT be like the Spawn (1997) movie adaptation.
